Chapter 5
After the events of the morning he was happy to sit alone in the darkened coldness of the throne room. As he sat in silence he thought back to the conversation had at the breakfast table that morning. He knew that his brother was acting strange but he didn't think that the man would be stupid enough to go against the family and become weak and let his petty human emotions get the best of him. The Wyatt of old would never try anything like this, in fact he would revel in the fact that the ones he loved had become as devious as he was. "Damn it Wyatt, what the hell has gotten into you" the man spoke out loud. He just hoped that his sister in law would be able to talk some sense into the man. "And if she can't then I have the perfect potion to turn you back into a man and rescue you from the bitch you've become" the man finished with a snicker. Just then the man in question entered the room.
"Christopher" he greeted the man as he sat in the throne next him. "So is there any new business that I should know about" he asked. "No but there is an issue that we need to discuss" "Oh really, what exactly would this issue be" "I've heard that you've decided to follow in mother's foot steps as the new martyr of our family" he said as he put his hands over his heart mockingly. Using his telekinesis Wyatt sent the man flying head first into a wall. He then went and stood over the wounded man as he put a drop of his blood into the new potion and slipped it back into his pocket. Once it was secure the man healed his brother who wore a smile on his face as he got to his feet. "Ouch that looked like it hurt. See Chris annoying me can prove to be very hazardous to your health, so I'd watch myself if I were you" the man said warring a smile as well. "Really? I'll be more careful next time" he spoke as he stood toe to toe with his brother. "See to it that you do" Wyatt hissed. Before the two brothers cold snipe at each other some more, Autumn flamed into the room not looking to please.
"What's wrong?" her husband questioned as he took a step in her direction. "Some witches are planning an attack against us as we speak" "Do you know their location" Chris asked looking to shed some more blood. "Yes I do. But we need to move fast before they can get any more volunteers to help take us on. So Wyatt are you going to help us take care of them, or are you going to stay here?" the woman said as she looked the man over for any signs of weakness. "No, I'm coming with you" he responded much to the amazement of the others. "Good, then let's go" Chris said happy that his brother was finally starting to see the light. With that the group set out on their mission to destroy the witches.
"There they are" Autumn whispered as the three witches came into sight. "Do you think they know that we're here?" Chris spoke. "No I don't think that they do" Wyatt said as he motioned for the others to come in a bit closer. "Ok here's what were going to do. Autumn you take the girl on the right, Chris the on the left and I'll handle the man. Ready, GO!" he said as the group locked in on their respective targets. Chris immediately threw an athame at the girls head but she redirected it just in time. He then shimmered in behind her and sent an energy ball flying into her back and knocking her down hard. Meanwhile Autumn was engaged in hand to hand combat with the other girl until she tried to blow her up, but Autumn flamed out just in time and reformed in back of the girl and kicked her in the back. Once she was on the ground Autumn plunged an athame into her stomach vanquishing her instantly.
Wyatt who had made short work of the target with a fire ball that mutated into several giving the witch no way to escape. He now sat back watching the scene when another witch materialized in back of Autumn and sent her stabbed her in the side. "NO!" Wyatt screamed as he held him up in the air with his telekinesis and reduced him to a pile of ash with a high voltage energy ball. He then made his way to Autumn side and put a drop of the woman's blood into the vial and once again placed it back in his pocket. After that he healed the woman as the screams of his brother's victim filled the air. "Is she ok?" his brother asked running to his side. His question was answered as the woman sat up. "Damn it!" she shouted. "Don't worry baby he's very dead" Wyatt said pointing to the ashes by her feet. "Come on let's get out of here" Chris said as he shimmered away followed by Autumn. Alone in the alley a smile spread across Wyatt's face as he spoke "Three down seven to go" before flaming out.
